Hey Dan, I've simulated what you're describing by removing the bolts from the bed and scooting the rear of it over till the gap is correct. If I do that, the rear bumper would have to be offset by about an inch and a half. Talked to Precision Collision today and they said it sounds like the frame is banana shaped. They can fix it but suggested the best approach is to remove all the body panels and the drivetrain. Lotsa work! It will have to wait till next summer. One last shot before CRLS heads to "cold storage".
